The truth doesn't matter anymore, there was some totally crazy woman doctor on LBC this morning saying that the NHS is in imminent danger of collapsing because of Brexit (her words). Staff are leaving in droves according to her.
Then it turns out that there has never ever been more than 5-6% of staff in the NHS are from EU in reality, and their jobs are safe no matter what.
She then just switched tack and said they were constantly being subjected to racist abuse from Brexiteer racists. Really?
I will speculate that a lot more than 5-6% of the NHS budget goes to treating EU health tourists
And she supposedly tells the truth about patients?
Health tourism, the politicos don't even want to stop that?

This is what i do now for a living. First thing is to establish if there is a problem with the cable where it enters the house i normally check it at the point where it first attaches to the house if there is a little box up there i get in there and check the line. If there is no problem at the little box its internal if there is its external and you cant say where BT will say there liability starts and stops i have heard it all from them cable at edge of garden cable where it attaches to house they make it all up. I also check the internet as there is a setting called SNR this is always set at 6 when you have a new internet put in but if there is a problem it goes up trying to fix the problem and can be as high as 35. The higher the SNR goes trying to fix a problem the slower the internet goes so as the SNR goes up trying to fix a problem the speed goes down. Now if you have had a problem on the line that has been fixed the SNR could have gone up to say 20 but it never comes back down again unless the line is reset and normally the engineers just fix what causes the problem and thats it with no reset of the line. You could ask for a reset of the line to be done which puts you back in the training period as if you have had a new line installed. As for the £85 for the call out thats not bad BT upto £150 and i charge at least £60 if local but after 3 weeks of people messing about with there provider hrs on the phone being baffled getting no where they pay up no problem just to get the info of whos fault it really is.
Thanks bud. Hopefully all solved now.
Was their end.

Sure it wasn't a woodpecker ?
Definitely not mate. Only a fleeting glimpse but colour and form said ring neck not pecker. It landed as car went past. ?

Should be ok as long as has assets and you see it through to the baliffs.

Just outside Twycross convinced I saw a ring necked parakeet landing at the roadside, just fleeting but shape and colour correct.

Absolutely dreadful to me.

They should do this from the start. Get it all over in just 1 day. That would be brilliant. Good suggestion.
One toss of a coin would do for me.

And sadly it sinks by the day but hey-ho they are all we have. To top it all look at the prime stock on the sidelines?
As bouyant a future as the Titanic.

Contraceptive or as a poor boys football, what's not to like about a pigs bladder? ?

Perhaps a dose of regular moor burning would reduce the risk of big fires and improve the situation for wildlife.
David.
Mouth wash for you sir.
Don't ever let's prevent a problem as we have done historically, let the loons create one?

I think it is simpler than that; they are driven by GREED. Greed for power over others and others money (mainly left wingers), and to a lesser extent greed for money for themselves (both left and right wingers).
Thinking on, maybe we are so wrong?
They are striving to improve the health and wealth of the population? ??

Heard last night of another mitigation attempt to make white elephant HS2 a crowd puller?
The trackway is to be treated as a wildlife corridor as a sop for the loss of all of the ancient woodland that will be destroyed?
Could be hairy when Brock meets rolling stock at top speed let alone anything larger? Badger soup anyone, with cretins of course?

Some waters that have Signal Cray problems forbid trapping as they still have native Crays and don't want to risk those. I guess some people wouldn't put the natives back in safely, or those in control dare not take a chance.
Have heard of one instance of that, Worcestershire.

To be honest, you don't need to break into a food bank if you want food, you only have to raid the bins at the back. For various reasons food banks have to throw away a lot of the food they are given. Out of date, nut allergies, etc.
Plus a lot of people are quite fussy believe it or not, they don't want tinned peas for example
Mmm, skip diving for tinned peas?

This is unrealistic.
You cannot expect politicians to start acting as grown ups, ....... any more than you can expect them to be honest with the public and genuine on their actual expenses. It won't happen. They are not made that way.
Absolutely true.
Seemingly, mainly driven to decisions by stupidity, self aggrandisement, zealous persuit of some objective for unseen sponsors?
-
Amazingingly, a lot of people like the brand of unelected euro politics much more than democracy?
Not much hope then?

They dont play football like they used to.
Kevin Hector, Archie Gemmil, Bobby and Jack Charlton those were the days, and the old leather caser. When Men were Men.
That's certainly true, remember the days of being grateful for a pigs bladder?

Like everyone else on the left the EU Mandarins can't comprehend that you don't strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
Of course you do, to undermine and degrade is the easiest to achieve the utopia they seek whilst gaining riches for themselves?

Is it the alien one?

I think the same about football. At least tennis players don't need months training in drama school. Over paid and over rated.
Not so sure about that Dougy, both lots over paid, over rated and over on air time.
Give me 'the magic roundabout' every time. Florence a wholesome girl, Zebedee, well a bit like you but does less damage?
Brexit.......more remainer deceit!

Even if the figures came out what could be done? Nothing!
Why won't they do anything to stop the abuse of our NHS? They don't give a fig because it's not their money!
